Coverage in your area, especially of 3G and 4G should improve in the future; this mast is currently O2 only but has a new cabinet, indicating future upgrade to carry Vodafone and O2 4G.

 

Site 4830 is your nearest Vodafone site. However, I would not expect you to get a good 3G signal from it.

 

Site 203 is quite a long way away, and will be 2G/3G/4G server.

@heatherjs1 - There are a number of reasons that the coverage you’re receiving has changed. It may be due to new buildings/developments in the area, overgrown trees, an increase in the number of people using the sites etc.

 

For help with your Sure Signal, please take a look at our troubleshooting guide.

Thanks Jenny...that info is much appreciated! 

My contract is due for renewal soon and there is no way I will be staying with Vodafone unless the network is being upgraded for my area. Is there any way to find out if this is planned in the near future?

@heatherjs1 - You can keep an eye out for any changes planned in your area, on our UK coverage checker: http://vdfn.co/nsc

 

This will show anything planned in the next three months. :Smiling:
